The good news is the Detroit Lions posted their fifth win of the season on Sunday, in a 17-3 victory over the struggling Arizona Cardinals. The bad news is that fifth victory came midway through December.
With three games left on their schedule, the best the Lions can finish is with an 8-8 record. That’s one win less than last season with former head coach Jim Caldwell at the helm. Still, somehow, Detroit has a chance to make the playoffs. According to makenflplayoffs.com, a 2.180 percent chance to be exact.
So what will it take for the Lions to miraculously snatch a postseason berth from the jaws of an early vacation?
